Amazing to read all the posts on this family. I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with a couple having 17 or more children. It wasn't that long ago that our grandparents were doing the same thing.
I don't understand all the anger. It really is none of anybody's business but their own how they live their lives. They aren't hurting anyone, the children all look healthy, well fed, clean and very polite and respecful. Also very well behaved which is a rarity these days. Being home schooled isn't new, it's been around for years. If I were raising my kids in today's world, I too would home school them.
The family reminds me of "The Sound of Music". I wouldn't want 17 children myelf, but to whoever can handle it, more power to them. To say they are damaging and polluting the world or the earth is ridiculous. The family probably recycles more than your average family who throw pop cans and empty snack packs all over. They don't own dogs that poop all over while owners walk away and leave the mess there. They don't throw coffee cups and water bottles all over the earth like most people do. And you can be sure they don't pollute with cigarettes or liquor bottles.
I don't think they are exploiting the tv and radio shows,it would be the other way around. If something sells, the tv companies want it and are willing to pay for it. The newspapers all want the rights to the story and are willing to pay for it. If the family can make money by agreeing to do shows and interviews I see no harm in it.
I'VE BEEN BOO'D
